It is assumed that a solid non-reverberant mounting position
has been selected and the electrical mains wiring and any
optional control wires have been made ready.
It is also assumed that compatible ductwork is already
installed and ready to be connected to the 125mm dia.

5 off blanking plates (Do not remove)
2 off 125mm diameter spigots
Please note a clear space of at least 470 x 320mm is
required to allow the cover to be removed and provide
sufficient access for maintenance.
The fan is designed to be wired direct to the mains supply
through a fused spur isolator (by others) and run
